The third album from The Who featuring the hit tune " I Can See For Miles" in addition to others like "Mary Anne With The Shaky Hand"', "I Can't Reach You" and "Relax" among others.

This deluxe reissue package includes original TRACK artwork and labels and an authentic reproduction of the "Psychedelic Poster" included in original pressings of this title which are now nearly impossible to find other than on eBay for many dollars.
The Who Sell Out
Classic Records
Audiophile fans should be made aware of an exciting new deal forged between Classic Records and EMI.What is described as an “extensive series of titles” is being made available for reissue by Classic beginning this summer, in which
the original masters will be used
and pressings will be placed on 200gm vinyl with authentic gatefold packaging and art. Mastering will be completed via Classic’s specialist tube-based analogue system.And
so to The Who, and a thoughtful reissue by Classic of this essential rock album which mimics the antics of a pirate radio station, complete with between track jingles.Why thoughtful? Because Classic has decided to release it on separate mono and stereo versions. In fact, the original album was originally released as Track 612002 (mono) and 613002 (stereo) on December 15th, 1967.
Both originals emphasise the bass, so were never the best masters. Classic’s reissues are far superior.The mono version was mastered and cut using that very same tube analogue mastering system, mentioned above, using the original master tapes provided by The Who.The resultant sound still maintains that hard edge. However, the mastering isn’t perfect with some ‘balance’ concerns.The mono version does sound a little
off centre. Like many other bands of the ‘60s the stereo version of this release differs from the mono. The mono version of ‘Odorono’ removes the lead guitar and the vibrating vocal at the end of Mary Ann With The Shaky Hand is also removed. Also there is an alternative guitar track on ‘Our Love Was’.The album features the classic ‘I Can See For Miles’ (voted by Pete Townshend himself as one of the best singles The Who ever released but was sadly neglected by the paying public at that time) in addition to others like ‘Mary Anne’, ‘Can’t Reach You’ and ‘Rael’. It also features a faithful reproduction of the original ‘psychedelic poster’ which is so hard to find, even within original second-hand pressings.Posted with eBay Mobile
